It appears I installed everything i need to in order to install/run xentop in my Debian1 appvm, but when i try to run xentop, it says “command not found”

Please help,

here is the xentop script that converts the kb RAM meter to Gigabytes.

#!/bin/bash

Function to convert kilobytes to gigabytes

convert_to_gb() {
echo “scale=2; $1 / 1024 / 1024” | bc
}

Run xentop in batch mode, updating every 2 seconds

while true; do
clear
# Extract memory line, convert values to GB, and format the output
xentop -b -d 2 | grep -i ‘Mem:’ | awk ‘{print “Total: " $2/1024/1024 " GB\tUsed: " $3/1024/1024 " GB\tFree: " $4/1024/1024 " GB”}’
done

You have to run xentop in dom0.
And the convert_to_gb() function is redundant, because you divide twice by 1024 in awk (for each parameter printed), never calling the function.

Thank you, the reason why i’m trying to run xentop in Debian1 appvm is because I am experimenting with the above script, trial and error ,and I need to be able to copy and paste back and forth from my terminal to my browser and to my A.I./chatgpt, and I cant do that with dom0. If I could copy/paste from an appvm to dom0, that would solve the problem, but theres not way to.
